Examples of Trompe l'oeil

To illustrate a skillful artist's use of Trompe l'oeil, I thought you would enjoy the examples below: Don't miss the video of Marcello's card picture. I especially liked seeing what a variety of tools he employed to bring about this fantastic "fool the eye" drawing.

Realistic Color Drawings of Everyday Objects by Marcello Barenghi

Italian artist Marcello Barenghi draws incredibly realistic everyday objects that appear almost three dimensional with the help of colored pencils and occasional enhancements using markers or watercolor. Each work appears ever so slightly stylized which I think sets these apart from similar hyper-realistic drawings that are meant to ‘trick’ a viewer. If you want to see more, Barenghi runs a YouTube channel where he documents the process of almost every drawing. (via 2headedsnake)
